Manchester United plans to raise matchday ticket prices to as much as 97 by the 2025/26 season and has announced a five percent increase in season ticket prices. Protests against rising ticket costs have increased, especially with the removal of concession prices. The club intends to build a new stadium costing approximately 2 billion, holding 100,000 fans, and is considering a personal seat licence system requiring fans to pay up to 4,000 upfront for a guaranteed seat over 30 years. This system would be unprecedented in the Premier League.
Manchester United's proposed new stadium is projected to cost 2bn and would hold 100,000 supporters. A funding plan for the shiny new venue was notable by its absence.
Matchday tickets at Old Trafford in 2025/26 could climb as high as 97, as opposed to the 66 that represented the top end last term.
The new seating system would involve fans paying an upfront fee of up to 4,000 for a personal seat licence, granting them first refusal on a seat for the next 30 years.
Regular fans being squeezed for extra cash jarred slightly with news at around the same time that the INEOS-led side had opted to build a new stadium.
